The County Public Health Officer has requested that we make some temporary adaption to our celebrations of the Eucharist, so as to foster the health of our worshipping communities. For the duration of the Flu and Cold season, Bishop McGrath has asked all parishes to adapt the following temporary liturgical adaptations:

 

1.                   The Blood of Christ will not be distributed to the faithful. 

 

2.                   Holy Communion will be distributed only into the hands of communicants.

 

3.                   We will not hold hands during the Lord’s Prayer.

 

4.                   The Sign of Peace should be adapted so as to allow for a greeting that does not involve shaking hands or touching.
